    A GPX4-dependent cancer cell state underlies the clear-cell morphology and confers sensitivity to ferroptosis

    Clear-cell carcinomas (CCCs) are a histological group of highly aggressive malignancies commonly originating in the kidney and ovary. CCCs are distinguished by aberrant lipid and glycogen accumulation and are ...

    High-resolution specificity profiling and off-target prediction for site-specific DNA recombinases

    The development of site-specific recombinases (SSRs) as genome editing agents is limited by the difficulty of altering their native DNA specificities. Here we describe Rec-seq, a method for revealing the DNA s...

    Plasticity of ether lipids promotes ferroptosis susceptibility and evasion

    Ferroptosis—an iron-dependent, non-apoptotic cell death process—is involved in various degenerative diseases and represents a targetable susceptibility in certain cancers1. The ferroptosis-susceptible cell state ...

    A general approach to identify cell-permeable and synthetic anti-CRISPR small molecules

    The need to control the activity and fidelity of CRISPR-associated nucleases has resulted in a demand for inhibitory anti-CRISPR molecules. The small-molecule inhibitor discovery platforms available at present...
